There are some guidelines for using the cage:

  1. Registered Parkiteers can access the cage using an access card, which will be supplied when your application is approved.
  2. To show you are a registered Parkiteer, you will receive two ID stickers. Attach them to your bike and helmet to show other Parkiteers you are also an member.
  3. Parkiteers should not give unregistered users access to the cage. Unlawful entry can be reported by contacting Bicycle Network Victoria. Call 1300 546 526.
  4. Only registered users may use the bike cage. Do not give access to a friend or others.
